HASTINGS WIN.
be acknowledgements Consolidation
Gets = Game From Wichita.

Yesterday the Hastings won the first OF the
two exhibition games with Wichita, and
t hey did it easily, batting Hendricks hard
and having their own way at all points OF the
game. Hendricks was Wild in his pitching,
and received poor support both behind the
bat and in the field. Wehrle's' pitching for
the visitors was excellent, but Ebright could
not hold him. In the eighth inning Leigh
| ton stepped to the bat and turned out fouls
| like an Incubator, and they all tipped the
ends of Ebrights fingers, Gripping his hands
SO badly that he resigned in favor OF Tubby
| WEIGH, who had foul whir past his ear and
over the grand stand. In picking ball from
| the three which were offered, Tubby says
| .'gimme de soft wan" Tubby is a
| batter, too. His and Ebright's hard drives
were quite feature Of the game. Ducky
Hemp played well on right and made beau
| tiful double play on the second inning. just
before this Ebright made home run. Al
| though the game was loose it was neverthe-
less exciting and amusing. The umpiring OF
| Reynolds was exceedingly good. And 1t
must be said that good umpiring is sine
qua non of pleasant and delightful game.
